Here, in India, we get "Indian Edition" or "South Asian Edition" or "Asian Edition" of American textbooks. These textbooks are usually adapted for these regions by professors of Indian universities.

These editions have altered arrangement of chapters and even topics within the chapters. Sometimes some extra topics/chapters are included, while some other times some topics/chapters are excluded.

This is something I usually dislike, as I feel that titles should be accessible *the way they are* from anywhere in the world.

But, today I was reading the Indian edition of this book "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner and Robert Kolenkow, and I was actually impressed seeing the order of arrangement of the topics, which was better than the original American edition (that I pirated).
